Yes, this can all be very confusing if you are unfamiliar with this model, but it has been around for a long time now and is widely used by coaches and athletes – especially multi-sport athletes (hence it’s popularity with Triathlon) for whom the conversion to a common unit of training (TSS) is helpful in evaluating the effect of training in multiple disciplines. One of the key benefits of TSS is that it converts all modalities of training into a common currency – every activity from swimming, running, skating, or weights, and whether you are going by pace, heart rate, or power – is converted into a simple numerical TSS number.įrom the accumulation of TSS from each individual workout, we can chart our Acute Training Load (ACL, ie Fatigue), Chronic Training Load (CTL, ie Fitness), and Training Stress Balance (TSB, ie the difference between ACL & CTL, ie ability to race, aka f orm).
